Ming porcelain showcased at Palace Museum

A total of 298 pieces of porcelain ware from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) are on show at the Jingren Palace of the Palace Museum in Beijing through Feb. 22, offering visitors a chance to get an overall understanding of the imperial ceramic types fired in the kilns of Jingdezhen in today's Jiangxi province. Jingdezhen, known as China's porcelain capital, is famous for producing porcelain exclusively for the royal family during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). [Photo/VCG]
